<br>
Perhaps you could put the Attested Forms into Subentries, like this:<br>
<br>
\lx Proto-form<br>
\gl English gloss<br>
<br>
\se Attested form<br>
\ge English gloss<br>
\va (=Variant Form) Language name (or use
one of the Etymology fields, or Encyclopedic, or \ps, \nt, \lf ...)<br>
\va Language name <br>
\va Language name ...<br>
<br>
\se Attested form<br>
...<br>
<br>
This would look nice in Lexique Pro, and in Toolbox you can sort on the \se
field, then export a custom db for an Attested Forms index.<br>
<br>
Another possibility might be to use \rn or \re for the attested forms, instead
of *or in addition to* the above. I haven't tried this, but it seems as if you
could set it up as follows, and then TB Reverse Finder List to print out an
index by attested forms.<br>
<br>
\lx Proto-form<br>
\gl English gloss<br>
\re Attested form 1<br>
\re Attested form 2<br>
\re Attested form 3 ...<br>
<br>
\se Attested form 1<br>
\ge English gloss<br>
\va (=Variant Form) Language name (or use
one of the Etymology fields, or Encyclopedic, or \ps, \nt, \lf ...)<br>
\va Language name <br>
\va Language name ...<br>
<br>
\se Attested form 2<br>
\ge English gloss<br>
\va Language name...<br>
